VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension 2.2.0.1 | 22 DEC 2022 | Build 20989128

Check for additions and updates to these release notes.

What's New

VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension version 2.2.0.1 provides the following new capabilities:

  • Improvement on the support for Object Storage Interoperability Service (OSIS), including IAM user support, tenant onboard and bucket synchronization.

  • Various bug fixes.

Upgrade

You can upgrade directly to VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension 2.2.0.1 from versions 2.2 and 2.1.X. See Upgrading VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension.

Caveats and Limitations

  • S3 API requests authenticated with application credentials do not support the following use cases:

    • Accessing a shared bucket if another user grants you permissions for the bucket.

    • Deleting multiple objects simultaneously with a single API request.

    • Copying objects from buckets that you own.

  • If you are using ECS storage, you cannot remove object tags.

    When you try to remove an object tag, the operation fails with an error.

  • VMware Cloud Director and the underlying storage systems have different limitations on user names. To use VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension, user names must comply with both the requirements of VMware Cloud Director and the underlying storage system. A best practice is to use short user names (under 50 bytes) and to use alphanumeric characters.

    • If you are using Cloudian storage, the maximum length of user IDs is 255 bytes.

    • If you are using Dell ECS 3.4 or earlier, the maximum length of user IDs is 91 bytes.

    • If you are using Dell ECS 3.6, the maximum length of user IDs is 64 bytes.

  • Bucket synchronization supports up to 10 million objects per a single synchronization job

    When the cloud provider enables bucket synchronization for a tenant in the provider portal, the synchronization can support up to 10 million objects for the tenant. VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension 2.1 does not support the synchronization for more than 10 million objects per a single bucket synchronization job.

  • If you are using ECS storage, S3 API, or the Find a Bucket feature, you cannot visit a bucket that belongs to a different tenant organization in the ECS platform.

Product Documentation

All documentation is available on the VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension Documentation page.

Resolved Issues

  • NEW Head Object S3 API does not return actual Content-Length header

    If the S3 client uses a HEAD method on an object, the response returns Content-Length as 0, although the object is not empty.

    This issue is now fixed.

  • NEW You cannot onboard a tenant organization for the Cloudian platform

    When a cloud provider tries to enable a tenant organizatioin for Cloudian object storage, the process fails. The problem is observed for new organizations, which have not been previously onboarded and have no custom storage mapping.

    This issue is now fixed.

  • NEW You cannot delete Kubernetes clusters, which are in fatal state

    When a tenant user tries to remove a Kubernetes cluster which is in fatal state, the process fails. The problem is observed only with Kubernetes clusters, which are added to Object Storage Extension 2.1.

    This issue is now fixed.

Known Issues

  • Synchronization tasks of buckets with more than 60 thousand objects fail with a timeout error

    When you try to sync a bucket that contains more than 60 thousand objects, the synchronization task expires after 24 hours.

    Workaround: Click the Sync Now button repeatedly until the synchronization task completes successfully.

  • Region metrics on the provider portal's tenant onboarding page does not distinguish region specific metrics data

    With multi-region deployment, when multiple regions are activated for a tenant organization, active region cards show the global consumption metrics, not region-specific data. The problem is observed, because region specific metrics is not supported yet.

    Workaround: None.
